Screenshots don't prove anything by the way, except that you took a screenshot. How can you prove tradeskill botting with a screenshot, and exactly what is evidence of that?
The only real evidence is of dozens to hundreds of people who used to comment on that by this person frequently, in the Freeport crafting channel on the Blackburrow server. That is evidence.

I agree, eyewitness reports can be used as evidence.
Here is the evidence I have so far:
Ixnay says he saw the person dead a few times at crafting stations.
Illuminator said he saw the person paste some funny numbers into guild chat.
A thread Ixnay pointed to where someone else saw Emma dead at a crafting station (may or may not be same incident? Not sure).
Where is the dozens to hundreds of people's eye witness evidence? What are they going to report, that they saw Emma dead at a crafting station? Since when is being dead at a crafting station undeniable proof that someone is a bot. I have no problem with a person taking their wireless keyboard, and repeatedly pressing a few buttons while they watch TV or read a book. I personally wouldn't do it because of accusations like these that result.
You're so called evidence, is no better than several people claiming someone is a witch because they all saw her with a black cat. Yes, it is true, we have many eye witness reports showing evidence that she has a black cat. Unfortunately, a black cat does not mean the person is a witch.
Bot hunting is a waste of time, because they are only witch hunts. It is impossible as a normal player to get any real evidence that could prove someone guilty of the act. I have caught people AFK crafting before, sometimes, they respond 5 minutes later and say "sorry I wasn't paying attention to by screen", and sometimes they come back a few hours later. When I press them for why they took so long to respond, you would be surprised at how often they admit they were botting. If they were to deny it--this hasn't happened yet--I would advise them to pay more attention to their screen so as to avoid similar accusations in the future.
The only time you can really persecute a witch, is when the witch admits to being a witch.
